Former AllStar catcher Dick Dietz, involved with Don Drysdale in one of baseball's most disputed plays in the late 1960s, died Tuesday from a heart attack. He was 63. Mr.

Dietz hit .261 with 66 home runs and 301 RBIs from 1966 to 1973, mostly with the San Francisco Giants. He finished his career with Los Angeles and Atlanta. His best season was 1970, when he hit .300 with 36 doubles, 22 home runs, and 107 RBIs, along with 109 walks. He was an All-Star that season, and his leadoff homer in the ninth inning against Catfish Hunter started a three-run rally that tied the game the National League won in the 12th when Pete Rose ran over catcher Ray Fosse to score the winning run. Mr.

Dietz probably was better known, however, for what happened at Dodger Stadium on May 31, 1968. Drysdale was in the midst of setting a Major League record of Most of Dick Dietz's career was with the San Francisco Giants. scoreless innings and bidding for his fifth straight shutout when the Giants loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth inning. Mr. Dietz came up and was hit in the elbow by a 2-2 pitch from the future Los Angeles Hall of Famer.

But before Mr. Dietz could take his base and force home a run that would break Drysdale's streak, plate umpire Harry Wendelstedt ruled that Mr. Dietz did not try to get out of the way of the ball. "He stood there like a post," former Giants teammate Ron Hunt recalled yesterday. "It was a high slider, and he didn't make an attempt." The Giants loudly argued the call, but Mr.

Dietz returned to the plate with a full count and hit a shallow fly ball that was not deep enough to score a run. Drysdale retired the next two batters to finish off the shutout and extend his string to 45 scoreless innings. Hunt, who holds the modern season record for being hit by pitches, remembered that Wendelstedt made his call right away. Romney takes aim with veto pen State workers' benefit said eyed By Scott S. Greenberger GLOBE STAFF Governor Mitt Romney will veto a $15 million reduction in state workers' healthcare payments and $4 million that would go to a private firm to market Massachusetts to foreign visitors, both items that lawmakers placed in the $23.9 billion state budget, according to senior administration officials.

Romney plans to excise other parts of the fiscal 2006 budget, but the officials said that because the Legislature's budget isn't much different from the governor's own proposal, he would use his veto pen sparingly. With an overwhelming majority in both the House and the Senate, Democratic lawmakers generally overrule Romney on their priorities. Last year, Romney vetoed a total of $108.5 million in spending, and legislators restored $40 million of it. The Romney officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, declined to say what Romney will do about a 70 percent increase in spending on the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. That increase, to $425,000 from $250,000, has sparked the ire of a group that opposes gay rights and it presents a quandary for Romney as he mulls presidential bid.

"If the governor does have national aspirations, the rest of the country doesn't buy this stuff," said Brian Camenker, director of the Article 8 Alliance. "The governor has to decide where 1 he stands on some of these issues." The commission, created by Governor William F. Weld in 1992, is supposed to help prevent teen suicides and combat harassment of gay and lesbian youths. In talking about his opposition to gay marriage around the country, Romney has been careful to note that he does not condone discrimination against gays and lesbians. Romney's veto of the $15 million to reduce healthcare payments by state employees is expected to be one of the largest subtractions he will make today.

The state used to cover 85 percent of all state workers' health insurance premiums, but during the depths of the fiscal crisis several years ago it replaced that arrangement with a tiered system. Under the current rules, the state's contribution ranges from 75 percent to 85 percent, depending on the worker's salary and date of hiring. AP FILE PHOTO The change is set to expire at the end of this year, however. The Legislature wants to return to the old system, as planned, but Romney says that is not fiscally prudent. Keeping the current system would save the state $15 million.

"Given the difficult long-term fiscal problems facing the state and what employees are being asked to do in the private sector, I think it's fair to go up to the 20 percent to 25 percent range," said Michael J. Widmer of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, a business-funded nonprofit that studies taxes and government spending. Romney also plans to veto $4 million the Legislature wanted to steer to the Massachusetts International Marketing Partnership a new nonprofit organization headed by former state travel official William H. MacDougall, to market the state to international tourists. The contract and the proposed new spending have outraged officials at the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, who say a competing agency would simply duplicate their efforts.
